ETA Communications Certifications

The General Communications Technician Level 2 (GCT2) certification is a journeyman level program modeled after wide-ranging private wireless industry communication systems encompassing more specific detailed items along with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) guidelines covering many of the disciplines in the COMT program. The GCT2 competency comprises more complex areas which a radio communications technician and/or engineer will encounter in the public safety communications or business / commercial radio fields.

This GCT2 certification will involve more knowledge of intricate skills and troubleshooting. The purpose of the GCT2 is to provide a certification program and testing that expands upon the coverage included in the ETA® GCT1 competencies. The GCT2 certification technician candidate must hold the GCT1 or the Associate CETa as the minimum pre-requisite certification. Prior RF experience in industry and public safety best practices is highly suggested. The GCT program certifications are maintainable for all levels.

*Does not apply to FCC exams. Retakes must be completed within one year of the first exam session.
